10 Healthy Foods for Less #8

My healthy food today is oranges. We all know that oranges are very high in Vitamin C, but they also contain high levels of potassium as well. Eating real oranges is better than drinking juices.

More important about eating oranges is to eat the pith as this is where many of the vitamins are. The pith is the white matter just under the peel. Some oranges have a very thick pith and some have a very thin pith.

Other nutrients in oranges include things like folic acid, potassium, calcium, thiamin, Vitamin B6, and magnesium.
